DAL is trying to get listed on the S&P. The 1st ever profit in the 1st quarter helps significantly. 4 consecutive quarterly profits is a minimum essential requirement. This is why DAL stock has bumped up. Expect it to bump back down 1-3 days after the S&P deal is announced...

dyodd this is not investment advice.

I'll hang up and continue to be amused.
The only problem is there is excessive dottage around here.

So I may be connecting the wrong dots here but, behold...

Just remember, your union and the almighty LM have shared their sentiments....we dont want those tiny, smelly little jets...send em to the regionals where they can feed us so we can give more widebody flying to Virgin Atlantic/JV peoples errrr I mean so we can grow our widebody flying.

Look at the displacement of that rudder! He must be going stop to stop! Must have hit some wake turbulance, from the 200 preceding 50 seat RJ's departing the ATL for the Alcoa plant!

My NW Budds tell me it was Richard who brought the Airbus's NW, when he was CEO there.

I hear he doesn't like new Boeings (too expensive) any more than he liked Apple iPads (for the same reason) which is why we are getting Microsoft tablets.

Hey, Wait

Maybe it's 15 A380's!!
It was Rothmeier that signed the big Airbus order for NWA, RA likes whatever makes the most financial sense.

Probably because it pays less than the first officer position on the other planes. Considering the junior 320 captain is an 87 hire, I think that we are better off.

But wasn't RA in Tech Ops (MX) back then? I have (had) a good friend who was a Mechanic for NW in about 1985 (?) (then later went on strike, got locked out) he told me that it was RA's idea to buy Airbuses, way back when.

He (my buddy) did a lot of wrenching on the A320's when they were new.
